Emily Little

Intersection Artist

Emily Little is a self-taught visual artist and poet born in Spain, raised in New Hampshire and Hawaii, and settled in NC. Little’s background of constant change has influenced her to create works exploring duality and nuance, encouraging radical authenticity. 

Over the past four years, Little has exhibited her work at various museums, art festivals, and private collections across the U.S. 

She loves oil painting and writing, but experiments with linocuts, collage, woodwork, and often adopts new mediums for the sake of the message she wishes to convey. Little feels most inspired when interacting with other creatives and discussing how to improve the community.
